AFCAI

AFCAI stands for the Australasian Foundation for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies. It is an academic organization dedicated to fostering research and discussion on the history, literature, and culture of colonial and postcolonial societies, with a particular focus on the Australasian region. The foundation supports scholars through various initiatives, including conferences, publications, and networking opportunities.

The AFCAI aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary engagement, bringing together academics from fields such as history, literature, cultural studies, anthropology, and political science. Their work often explores themes of power, identity, resistance, and reconciliation within the context of colonial legacies and their ongoing impact. The organization encourages critical analysis of historical narratives and contemporary issues arising from these historical contexts.

Membership in the AFCAI is open to academics, researchers, and students with an interest in colonial and postcolonial studies. The foundation regularly organizes conferences and symposia, which serve as important venues for presenting new research, exchanging ideas, and building collaborations among scholars in Australasia and internationally. Through its activities, the AFCAI contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted histories of colonialism and its enduring influence.
